In the human body, some organs work silently and continuously, yet their role is priceless.
The kidneys are one of the most vital organs, acting as the body’s natural filtration system. Every day, they filter nearly 150–180 liters of blood, removing toxins, excess water, and waste products through urine.
📍 Location of the Kidneys
The kidneys are located on both sides of the spine, in the lower back, just below the rib cage.
⚙️ Major Functions of the Kidneys
- Remove toxins and waste from the blood
